"Respected Japanese chain Kizuki Ramen and Izakaya has opened another Puget Sound-area restaurant, this time in the Tacoma Mall. The new restaurant has the same menu as the company’s other locations, with a variety of ramen styles and izakaya options like chicken wings, edamame, agedeshi tofu, gyoza, and more. Despite being a large chain, Kizuki does ramen well — it’s earned a place on Eater Seattle’s list of 8 Elite Ramen Restaurants in the area." - Megan Hill
